Abstract: The invention provides for an order selection system and related method of operating the system for retrieving multiple types of items stored in preselected storage locations and delivering retrieved items in an orderly sequence to a plurality of packing stations (22) in accordance with the specific requirements of different orders. The order selection system comprises a dispenser (12), a conveyor (14), a dispensing control system (16), a sorter (18), a plurality of stacking devices (20), and identifying means to identify the end of each order. The steps in the method of operating the system are: arranging the multiple types of items in the preselected storage locations, determining the requirements of order to be filled, dispensing the items stored in the preselected storage locations in an alternating order sequence in accordance with the requirements of sequential orders, receiving the dispensed items on the conveyor (14) in the alternating order sequence, transporting the dispensed items on the conveyor (14) toward the packing stations (22), sorting the items so as to divert every other item toward separate packing stations (22), stacking the sorted items into discrete continuous stacks conforming with the specific requirements of the orders, and identifying the end of each order. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A naphtha feedstock is catalytically reformed in a combination sequence comprising a continuous-reforming zone, consisting essentially of a moving-bed catalytic reforming zone with continuous regeneration of catalyst particles, followed by a zeolitic-reforming zone containing a catalyst comprising a platinum-group metal and a nonacidic zeolite operating on the effluent from the continuous-reforming zone. The unique process combination permits higher severity, higher BTX aromatics yields and/or increased throughput in the continuous-reforming zone, thus showing surprising benefits over prior-art processes, and is particularly useful in upgrading existing moving-bed reforming facilities with continuous catalyst regeneration.

Abstract: Multiplications on a finite field of cardinal 2<m> may be achieved by means of a multiplier circuit including j shift registers (R0, ..., Rj-1) into which dual-base co-ordinates of one operand are initially loaded, j being an integer greater than 1 divisor of m. The other operand is expressed in standard base. The shift registers are linked to combinatorial logics arranged to deliver the dual-base co-ordinates of the product of the two operands in m/j clock cycles, with j co-ordinates being delivered in each cycle. Multiplication execution rates may thus be increased relative to previously known dual-base multipliers that required at least m clock cycles per operation. The multiplier circuit is particularly useful in BCH decoders.

Abstract: In a sausage-making a process, thread (66) is withdrawn from a dispenser and one end (62) tied to one end of the closed sausage skin. A length of thread is then released, and the sausage is filled. The filled sausage is bent back, holding the two ends together, while two pairs of facing shears wrap around the sausage end, closing the skin through which the sausage has been filled. The shears are then relaxed to leave a section of empty sausage skin. The novelty is that: (a) after the sausage skin has been closed, but before the shears are relaxed, a further length of thread is dispensed; (b) also claimed is a thread dispenser (10) for a sausage-making machine, the two ends of which are tied together; (c) the dispenser (10) has two release (14, 16) units, which release different and pre-selected lengths of thread.
